Brynlee Marie Hendrickson!


Brynlee is the newest member of our family. Born March 22, 20010. She is 6 lbs. 13 oz. and 19 inches tall. She is a tiny little thing. We are so blessed to have such a cute little girl be apart of our family. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she struggles in her breathing. We hope that all the tests results come back ok and that she will be coming home with us soon! We love you baby girl!!!

Friday-Monday!

So on Friday at my doctor's appointment the Doctor decided that she wanted me to be induced on Monday (Today) So this weekend I worked on getting the house organized and all ready for the baby to come! They gave me a number to call to get into a room and get started! They wanted me to call between 6:00-6:30 so I called at 5:58. If it was first come first serve you better believe I wanted to be the first one who called in. So when I called in they said that they weren't quite ready for me. I really had doubts and didn't think I would ever make it to the hospital. They called me at 9:45 and asked if I could come in at 10. After signing in and getting dresses Dr. Craig came in and checked me. I was still at a lovely 2. So she went and broke my water. Then I got an iv of pitocen to get me dilating. I got my epidural when I was at a five because I wanted to make sure I got it in time before I delivered. At 5:30 I told the nurse that I felt a lot of pressure and she said it was the baby and not to push. So hard when you feel like you have to push and cant. The Dr. finally came close to 6:00 and I pushed three hard pushes and she was here! (So different from Arailia 13 1/3 hour labor and 3 1/2 hours pushing)Yay she is finally here!

Doctor's app.!

So today I had a doctor's appointment. The doctor listened to the baby's heart and sounded great! She checked me and I am still at a 2. She did the strep B test on me so I will find out Monday if it was positive or negative. The doctor was a little worried that the baby was under some stress due to my 1-2 minute contractions I have been having since Wednesday (NON STOP) So she wanted to monitor me for a while. She was very sleepy so the Doctor used this device that made my stomach vibrate and it had a loud sound to wake her up! It was even a shock to me because I didnt know when it would go off. When she would do that her heart rate would go up which was what she needed to do. She said that if she was stressed her heart rate would actually drop. After that the doctor was still a little worried so she did some blood work on me. And of course I didnt ask what it was for. So I waited two hours and they didnt call with my results so I called them. Of course they had already left the office )Dr. Craig and her staff)for the day so a nurse told me that I would just have to wait till Monday till the Doctor could look them over (unless I deliver before then!!!!) I am anxious, nervous and very excited that I will be holding my princess soon!

So sad to say goodbye!


Tuesday was my last day of preschool. I didnt know it would be my last day till last night when I decided that its best for me and the baby if I just take it easy the rest of the pregnancy. I didnt get to tell the kiddos a real goodbye but I am planning on going to graduation in May! I had a blast with these kids and I learned so much from them. I will miss you guys sooo much!!!
*Steph...
It was so much fun working with you. I learned so much. It was fun being able to hang out with you three days a week. We better hang out alot still! It was a fun learning experience and a nice little get away for a couple of hours! Thanks so much for letting me teach with you I had a blast!!!!!

St. Patrick's Day!

What an eventful day it turned out to be! Yesterday morning I got up to get ready for preschool and was in alot of pain that we decided to go into the doctor! I was admitted to labor and delivery! I was having contractions 1-2 minutes apart! They were very strong and the doctor said it was a good thing I came in. They decided to give me a shot called terbutaline which slows the contractions. The shot made me very dizzy and shaky which the nurse said would happen. I have a lovely migraine still from it! After an hour when the shot wore off the contractions came back strong and every few minutes again! They checked me and I was dilated to a 2. They wanted to monitor me more and they checked me again later and wasnt dilated anymore. They asked me if I wanted to stay or go home until the pain was uncontrollable or my water broke. Of course after I new that the baby was perfectly fine and not under stress I decided I wanted the heck out of there! So now I am at home still having strong 1-2 minute contractions and just waiting for more to happen.... more pain or water to break. The doctor said that since I have kidney stones I am more likely to deliver early due to my uterus being irritable. (I didnt know that) So I am trying to get everything in place for the princess to be here! I went and bought a few things like diapers and a few preemie clothes just in case! Its exciting to think I could be holding my baby sooner than I thought but we are trying everything we can to keep her in the oven as long as possible!
Just wanted to thank my mom, dad, and Jake for helping me out while I was at the hospital being there for me and helping with Rae!
When I got home from the hospital Rae and I ate since I didnt eat anything since I woke up till about 4. Then we rested for a bit. Then we went over to my mom's house and my dad made amazing ribs and my mom made amazing roasted garlic mashed potatoes for Jake's birthday. Arailia LOVES birthdays. She loves how she gets a balloon and birthday cake. Happy birthday Jakie man cant believe my baby bother is 17!

Shrek!


Its sad that my little two year old can repeat almost word for word of Shrek! Craziness she doesnt even watch it that much! (Seth Im blaming you for getting her to like such a movie lol) She hears a song from shrek on the radio she can sing it and she gets so excited and screams SHREK!

Time Change!

Man I at first I hated the time change! Arailia took her nap at 6:30 woke up close to 8:00. Well there goes the bedtime right. So I decided we would have a party tonight. I made dinner and Arailia did edible finger paint. She loves doing edible finger paint! She made it all by herself and even put in the food coloring too. She made a pretty teal color. She had a blast painting flowers on her paper. Now she is swimming (in the bathtub) she is having fun building sandcastles (out of her bubbles) and building towers! After swimming we will eat our lasagna and watch a movie! Its fun to do things with Rae! It makes you a kid again!!!!!!!!!!
(Sad to say no pictures of finger painting just noticed that my sim card is cracked)!

Today!!!!






Today was such a beautiful day! We went to church and heard my dad speak. He did such a great job. Then we came home and I made lunch. I made chicken sandwiches,chips,grapes and juice. Perfect picnic lunch right so what better than to have a picnic! So I got a blanket out and we ate our lunch out in this beautiful weather we havent seen in a long long time! Seth and Jake were the lovely bubble machine that Rae absolutely loved! She loved running and popping all the bubbles. Then after we were done with lunch and bubbles, Jake, Rae and I walked down to the park thats close to our house! Arailia was sooooo excited that she was able to go down the slide. I told her that when the snow melts we get to do fun stuff outside like go to the park and eat outside. She was so excited that her face was glowing when we saw the park! Its so nice that the park is so close by and its such a great babysitter too. Last summer rae loved going down the slide multiple times and I didnt have to help all I would have to do is relax on the bench and soak up then nice sun! Thats how it was today! Last summer Rae loved being a monkey and swing on the bars. It was so funny to see her run over there and say "mom I'm a monkey". Little girl didnt forget! We walked home and rae took a bath and now its time for naps! YAY!!!!!

More pics!






I like to add a few pics every time I upload them to my computer! Ever since I lost all my pics I try to put up some on here and then to cds! Here are a few from yesterday! Yesterday was so much fun. It started out by Seth leaving early in the morning to go to the gun show in Ogden with Lee and my dad. They had fun eating breakfast and then looking at the fun boy stuff and not having the nagging wives eating at them I'm sure! Then Seth came home and my mom and I went to go see Remember me! That was a good movie! It was so much fun to just go and hang out with my mom. We so need to do that more! It was nice to get in some alone time too. Then when I came home we went and took Arailia to Coldstone and ate ice cream! She loved that she got her own ice cream and loved that we ate it there! Then we came home and relaxed!

"Mom I'm starving"! I dont know where she hears all of the crazy things she says but it sure makes me laugh!

Snuggle Buddies!


Arailia loves to snuggle! The other night I was in the back doing laundry and I came out to find my cute little hubby and princess asleep! I wish I could have been snuggled up right beside them!(p.s. Seth would probably kill me if he saw a pic of him on here so SHHHHHH!)

Dont you take my Chocolate!


It was funny! Last night Arailia and I made some cupcakes for my mom as a thank you for helping me the other day! Today we gave them to her and Arailia said "No thats not gaga's cup cakes"! I had to give her one that we had saved for us or else I dont think my mom could have walked out the door with them! Here is a cute pic I snapped really fast!

The funny things she says!

Arailia makes me laugh all day everyday! A few things she said to me today that just make you laugh and cant believe she is getting so old!
" Mom I'm freezing are you freezing?"
"Mom I'm at the farm"! "See mom I'm a ________"
(She made a little fence with a big box we had to take out to the recycling)
" Mom your beautiful"
(I just got out of the shower)
"your an apple"
(My uncle Lane is here for a quick visit and she keeps calling him a cute apple)
She also says that he is cute!

(She said some funnier things but of course this preggy brain lets me forget so I will write back later if I remember)

* I love my little Railee!
